Ranchero Dried Chile Pequin Pods – Hot Mexican Pequin Chiles 0.25 oz

Ranchero Dried Chile Pequin Pods are small but powerful Mexican dried chiles known for their bold heat, bright flavor, and traditional use in salsas and seasonings.

Chile pequin, also spelled chile piquín, delivers a hot and vibrant flavor with earthy, slightly smoky notes. Because of its intense heat, a small amount can add plenty of spice to your favorite dishes.

These dried chile pods are perfect for preparing salsas, hot sauces, soups, stews, marinades, beans, meats, and chile oils. They can be toasted, crushed, ground, or blended into recipes for authentic Mexican heat.

The 0.25 oz package is a convenient pantry size for specialty cooking and adding bold flavor to everyday meals.

Preparation Tip: Toast lightly on a comal or skillet to bring out deeper aroma, then crush or grind into sauces and seasonings. Use sparingly, as chile pequin is very hot.
